n“I know this building. It was our building when we entered the Tower Defense 40 years ago!”

nThe leader’s agitated voice reached everyone’s ears.

nEveryone was shocked.

nWhat kind of joke was this?

nThey suddenly recalled the rules of the Tower Defense.

nPlease pay attention to resisting the invasion of the beasts and other countries!

nThis meant that their worlds were connected!

nBut why was the old Tower Defense city still there?

n“If I remember correctly, it was this Tower Defense battle 40 years ago that allowed our country to enter the ranks of superpowers!”

n

n

nThe leader said in a deep voice.

nExcited, he picked up the teacup with trembling hands and took a small sip.

nHe did not expect to see the previous Tower Defense city in his lifetime.

nThis was simply unbelievable.

nThe image moved as Pierce walked into the building.

nAll kinds of weapons were placed neatly in the ruined courtyard.

nThe bloodstains on the ground were very conspicuous. Looking at the dried up state, it seemed like it had been many years.

nThe layout stunned Pierce.

nBecause this place was exactly the same as the interior of the city he lived in.

nThis meant that this was once a Tower Defense city.

nJust as Pierce was about to look for anything useful, the golden hint entered his sight again.

nGo to the center of the hall and lift the tile on the third column on the left. There is something very big hidden underneath.

nFollowing the hint, he walked step by step into the hall and arrived at the location indicated by the system.

nPierce wiped the dirt off the floor with his hand, revealing a protruding floor tile.

nHe lifted the tile. There was a shiny golden box hidden in the huge space.

nThe box was engraved with all sorts of golden patterns, making it look very dazzling.

nThe scan result from the Tower Defense appeared.

nGolden Lifeform Treasure Chest

nQuality: Gold

nRemarks: There seems to be something valuable hidden in this shiny treasure chest, but I suggest you open it when you return to the city.

nPierce checked the treasure chest and put it inside his backpack.

nIn the conference room in Country M.

nThe leader saw Pierce dig a shiny golden box out of the floor. He was stunned.

nHe saw that the people around him were also looking at him in confusion, hoping that he could answer what exactly this box was.

nBut the problem was that he did not know either!

n“Don’t look at me. I don’t know what’s inside the box either!”

n“I didn’t even know there was a golden box in our city.”

n“This is unbelievable!”

nInside the Tower Defense world, the sky had already begun to turn dark. The darkness once again enveloped the silent land.

nPierce checked the time and decided it was time to return to his city.

nThe irregular schedule these past few days had really made him a little numb.

nBack in his city.

nPierce took the golden treasure chest from his backpack and placed it on the table.

nLooking at the treasure chest, there seemed to be no lock or password.

nHe opened the box. With a flash of golden light, the contents of the box appeared before him.

nThey were some unknown seeds.

nPierce didn’t know what they were for. He grabbed a handful and looked at them. Then the hint appeared again.

nThese seeds seem to be of great help to you. Why don’t you plant them in front of the city gate?

nPierce put away the seeds without hesitation and prepared to plant it in front of the city gate tomorrow morning.

nAfter all, he had relied on the hint system to survive these few times.

nThe next morning.

nAfter spending 50 Tower Defense Points to exchange for a sumptuous breakfast, Pierce brought the griffin to the city gate to continue arranging traps.

nMost of the traps in those deep pits had already been stepped on by the skeleton undead, so he decided to dig deeper this time as a precaution against aberrations.

nAfter half an hour, they finished digging the holes.

nPierce planted two rows of seeds in front of the gate.

nThey were the gold quality seeds that he had obtained from opening the treasure chest yesterday.

nSince it was gold quality, it was definitely something good.

nIn the world channel.

nMany participants, like Pierce, started to venture out to find something.

nHowever, most of them hadn’t even left the gate when they were blocked by a large group of level one creatures.

nMany of them cursed angrily.

nWhy don’t you bunch of dogs stop Pierce from Country M? Why are you insisting on blocking our entrance and shouting?

nPierce smiled when he saw the complaints from the players.

nIt seemed like it was because of the difference in terrains.

nHe had been compensated by Tower Defense Survival for being the only participant from his country, and was allowed to choose his city location.

nOtherwise, he would be devoured by the monsters in the desert.

nTime passed. Just like that, Pierce gathered resources and set up the walls.

nIn the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the countdown.

nTomorrow night was the next round of monster invasion.

nAccording to the golden hint, Pierce’s seeds would mature completely tomorrow.

nPierce found the seeds oddly familiar.

nHowever, he did not think too much about it.

nNow he had 20 elemental arrow towers.

nMost of them were exchanged from other countries through the Tower Defense points.

nOf course, at the same time, he also gave them some information regarding the aberrations.

nThe two sides could be considered to have made an equivalent exchange.

nPierce checked Griffin’s stats panel again.

nElemental Griffin

nLevel: 4

nGrowth Potential: Level 6

nRemarks: Don’t underestimate the griffin because of its small size. You never know how terrifying a level 4 creature can be when it’s angry!

nTerrifying?

nPierce knocked on the griffin’s head.

n

n

nRoar!

nTears rolled down the griffin’s watery blue eyes from the pain. It seemed to be very angry, but it did not dare to retaliate.

nPierce chuckled at the griffin’s cute expression.

nBut then, he became worried.

nHis seedlings would grow tomorrow.

nBut could he defend with just 20 elemental arrow towers?

nAt this moment, there was only one more day before the monsters invaded…

nTime until the next invasion: 25 hours 36 minutes 45 seconds!

nWithin the four days, Pierce had prepared all the defensive measures.

nNow… let them come.
